November 27, 2013 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • Page 11 Wyckoff Struyk gives update to Wyckoff Chamber members More than 65 Wyckoff Chamber of Commerce members attended last week’s meeting at the new Aldo’s Restaurant, to hear a presentation on the proposed Vista project and other recent projects at the Christian Health Care Center. Doug Struyk, the CHCC’s chief executive officer, explained that the projects have been developed over the past 10 years to meet the needs of all ages of the community, which the center has been doing for over 100 years. Struyk said the CHCC has committed to spend $14 mil- lion over the next eight years to upgrade the entire campus on a par with the Vista project. All improvements are meet- ing with a great response, he said, including their center’s new physical and occupational therapy programs, which started with 48 patients and are now up to 78. He said the center is reassigning some of its nursing beds to meet these needs. A new 14,000 square foot gym is also being added to the program. The Vista project will provide 199 independent living units for senior citizens designed around a core health and wellness environment and will be the first of the center’s buildings to pay property taxes to Wyckoff and Hawthorne, the municipalities in which it will be located. The center’s Evergreen Court complex, opened in 1996, provides inde- pendent living units for residents of low and moderate means.
